it wont bolt up with the cat cuzz the holes are not threaeded for the sping bolts; so you would have to go buy some nuts for the spring bolts n a washer or two n then with that all said putting the it on becasue of that will b a pain....but yea my cousin has one in his xa for almost a year now and everything seems to b fine

Megan racing on EBay, yes. Perrin on EBay, yes. OBX on EBay, maybe. SSAutochrome, no way.

Please spend a little more, you'll be happier in the end. No need to spend $300 on the Greddy, but don't cheap out either.

Ive also been running with a cheapy eBay header for about 1 year and a half and i track race my car and its been taking the abuse for a while. The same blue effect has happened to my chrome, but for $50.00 WHO CARES!! It does the job. Its not like your going to get another 10 WHP by spending $100 more, you might get 1 or 2 WHP more.
Now the down side, after this year and half of constant abuse it has finally called it quits. the flange starting rusting and now i have a hole in my exhaust and my car a sounds like a lawn mower/tractor thing, but its been a good product for the first year. The only reason my broke was because of the constant track abuse, but im sure if i would drive like a nomral person and occasionally step on it, then it should last you a LONG time. My final verdict it buy it, $50.00 wont kill you.

Who knows, you might even sell the car before it give you real trouble.
